Wikis

What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a web page that allows readers to collaborate with others. They can edit, add, change or write on a wiki. A wiki is a form of asynchronous communication - all participants do not have to be on the computer at the same time. A wiki is continuously being revised and updated.
